Description

Zen Studios’ modern homage to classic first-person dungeon-crawlers takes you to the land of Operencia, an unconventional fantasy world inspired by a faraway land referenced in countless Hungarian folktales. An old-school turn-based battle system combines with inspiration from Central European mythology to offer an RPG experience that feels unique yet also familiar.
Where History Meets Legend
Operencia is home to an intriguing mix of unexplored mythology and fantastical versions of actual historical locations (e.g., Deva Fortress, Balvanyos) and characters (e.g., Attila, Seven Chieftains of the Magyars), all coming together to form one cohesive new gaming universe. Several of your own seven party members take influence from heroes of forgotten tales told hundreds of years ago, such as the brave knight Mezey and Sebastian the Dragon Slayer.
A Tale for the Ages
An unknown force has abducted the Sun King Napkiraly, leaving Operencia in a state of perpetual darkness – and eventual doom. From hidden royal tombs and cursed castles to an ascent up the World Tree to reach the Copper Forest of the Land of the Gods, explore diverse settings throughout the far reaches of the land…and beyond. Each location boasts its own unique atmosphere, visual style, level design and puzzles, and many take place entirely outdoors.
Beautiful Presentation
Breathtaking hand-drawn cutscenes and fabulous 2D character portraits bring the story to life in a style not easily compared to any other game. More than 30 colorful roles are fully voiced through top-tier performances authentic to the game’s Central European roots.
Puzzles Everywhere
From intricate riddles to selecting the proper ingredients to craft new items, dozens of puzzles challenge your brainpower throughout all of Operencia.
Classic Gameplay and Exploration
Along with a deeply strategic turn-based battle system full of spells and special skills to execute, tile-based movement encourages thorough exploration of each area. For added challenge, turn on Cartographer mode to plot out each of the 13 maps yourself. How many secrets will you find?

Review title of FishTacosTonite(Throwback To the Classic Dungeon-Crawler)

This game is not for everyone but if you love grid based dungeon-crawlers then you will love this game. For what this game is it does well. It is frustrating seeing people give this game 2 or 1 stars just based on movement alone.
Sadly they just don't get the charm of this throw back classic style of game. So far the dungeons seem rather large and the encounters are not to far and in between. But if you are looking for that classic dungeon-crawler feel, then I highly recommend this game.
Side note it also allows full mouse & keyboard support

Review title of UnscathedSpade7Stop attacking rpgs

I am an older gamer and at the risk of sounding like an older gamer will actually say I enjoy this type of game. It would seem to me that more powerful consoles, easily accessible internet, and a whole lot of online social interactions while gaming, have really changed the face of gaming over the past generation. All of that is fine,none of that is a bad thing, but what some people do not seem to understand is that not every game can be call of duty. Not everybody wants call of duty. In a day where 8 and 16 bit console games can actually make a comeback, it has never been more obvios that there is an older generation of gamer that still buys games. Difference is I don't get my pals together and reviewbomb Minecraft bc it doesn't play like Phantasy Star.

Review title of RAPTURE1Fun Challenging Old School Dungeon Crawler

Do not buy this game if you don't like old school dungeon crawlers. If you do like old school turn based dungeon crawlers the game is fun , has challenging combat interesting characters, good storyline, good rpg options , and gameplay features, and interesting puzzels. The graphic style is a unique blend between cut scenes, and gameplay. The controls are normal for this type of first person old school dungeon crawler, you move one square at a time right , left, forward, and back...... that is how this style of rpg is played, you can also adjust the camera sensitivity. The game is on game pass so it is worth a try , the more you play this game you will get use to old school dungeon crawler controls, and movement. The game really is well designed , and the turn based combat is fun , and challenging. The voice acting is good, and it adds to the game, and is better then no voice acting. The game has 3 character classes, and 3 skill trees to customize fighting styles, plus attributes.

Review title of Devils ProxyThrowback Gaming

Careful reading some of these goldfish attention span Chad reviews. This game has been well written, the RPG stats and attributes are a perfect homage to games in the early 2000s and 90s, and the movement is a throwback to classic tile based tactical games. If you like to pay 60 bucks to fly around doing rolls and flips while doing mindless tasks/chores this game is not for you. Thank you developers for being different from the AAA competition.

Review title of skyefoxFor the adults 40 plus

As my fellow older gamers have alluded too, this game is a pleasant throwback to earlier Dungeon crawlers {Might & Magic, Phantasy Star), With Next gen graphics. The Talent tree and skill point allocation reminds me of D&D. If your older then 40 , you will appreciate this gem!

Review title of pmWolfCharming throwback.

It is a throwback, for sure. It has more in common with Dungeon Master on the Amiga than Skyrim. Charming, yet flawed and dated. Not a game for everyone, and it will not take you long to figure out if it is a game for you.

Review title of Phoenixia1177Awesome. Game, Good Story, Charmingly Fun

This game is awesome. Lots of old school charm, but none of the frustration; and still decently challenging. Thestory and lore is fantastic, really good puzzles, a just perfect amount of combat - no respawns, but enough enemies to be engaging. This game is a lot like if Child Of Light and Stranger Of Sword City had a kid, but with a liberal dose of adventure game spice thrown in.
There were a few points that could be improved, none are dealbreakers. Free camera with grid movement took a little adjusting. The voice acting is flat at times, but charming. The menu system could be better for camp shopping. The stat system and range mechanics are not clearly elaborated, but you don't need to minmax.
Really good game, would love a sequel.

Great single player game, i just wish there was a difficulty setting for the combat. If you are good at this type of game it will not be challenging enough. Great game tho I love it
